We know that most console games get leaked before release, but it’s entirely different when a highly anticipated game – and perhaps a candidate for GOTY – is getting leaked almost a week before release. So, iD Software’s highly anticipated FPS game, RAGE, was leaked today for both the X360 and PS3.


For obvious reasons, we won’t share any links but we can tell you that the PS3 version is around 18GB in size, whereas the X360 version is 19GB – or to be more precise, the JTAG version is 18GB whereas the RF version is 20GB. PC version is still safe and hasn’t been leaked as of yet.


RAGE is scheduled to release for PC, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 on October 4th in North America and October 7th in Europe.


I hate crackers and hackers!!

This game does not deserve this!

Hopefully try to resolve as quickly as possible!

And PC version hasn't. So much for piracy being a PC problem

Well, leaks happen. The more anticipated the game, the more propable the leak. I bet Skyrim will leak very soon after going gold too.

That svcks but I can't wait till someone asks or even makes a thread asking if since they got the leaked version can they still get access to the tunnels.
lol

It happened to most games that have some anticipation behind it.

This svcks!!

This is wrong! I really don't understand how this happens in the process of printing & distributing a game.

Seriously it's not even at retail yet so if a rip was made of the game it happened while it was at a factory or being shipped around to game review sites.

I suggest the developers bury some code in the disks they send out (giving them unique ID's) to track where the leak came from and who pirated the game. If that's even possible.

I would like to see the source's source.

well leaked will always happen I just hope they were not pirated.........I buy all of my games well I own a ps3 so pirating is impossible .....does it look the same on both consoles?

you know this really pisses me off i have had a preorder paid in full for 6 months and someone who doesn't have anything invested in the game is gonna be able to play it a week before me....[censored] it

OH [censored] what a freaking surprise - what a bad man

EVEN if im the PC guy - i still share saddnes with ID SOFTWARE for console version though. ( Oh thank god PC is safe )


RELEASE THE CONSOLE VERSIONS EARLIER IS THE BEST CHANCE TO ADAPT.


IT was probably some drunken Gamestop student idiot that leaked the games [censored] idiot.


That's why you don't supposte to get out any DISKS before game release - bethesda shouldn't give the game to anyone - who cares about early review. It's GOTY already.,

You see this happen to a lot of good games. Unfortunately there are three ways that this happens if it is not a retail street date violation:
- Employee theft at the publisher/developer
- Employee theft at retail (be it employee directly for self or for friends)
- In-Transit theft by frieght carrier

I would go on to say it is more likely the latter two since more often than not the publisher and developer employee tend to get free copies of the finished product and guard it well due to liability. Most companies have a very strict policy in regards to the respect of street date and have a zero tolerance policy because of the potential repricutions to the company through allocations, cooperative marketing, and fines. The street date violations tend to come from small "mom and pop" stores that get their product often second hand through a distributor rather than the developer. They have little to no respect for the rules and regulations of the industry.

If you see anyone violating street date please do the right thing and turn them into the publisher and let them know it is happening. The street date violators often also support piracy with the early copies without realizing it. If piracy is allowed to continue where is the incentive to publishers to continue to produce games.

I look forward to picking up my copy at the midnight release at 12:01 PM 10/4 at my local Gamestop.

The game gets done 2 weeks before release , soem of the early prints go to the studio.

It can be a steal , it can be transport , it can be GAMING SITES (early reviewers) , it can be internal traitor .... it's bethesda's fault giving away game too early.


It's the commercial risker, you want your game to get as early reviews as possible and hands-on , but you risk LEAKS with this. Rage doesn't deserve this. Bethesda has poor strategy that a game could leak a WEEK early. Blame your self Bethesda blame your self, it's not piracy , it never was.

When Ready. It's too late for regrets. You can not do anything else. This in too many pages on the Internet.

What I can wait for hear are statements from id software or Bethesha about it.

SEE WHAT "CONSOLE SCUM" BROUGHT ID

How much do you love them now


- there is a HIGH chance the leaker got hands on the PC version and witholded it out of respect for ID ? (but leaking any version is disrespectful in the first place)

because it's a very weird coincidence that both version would simultaneously release , he prolly got the package of all of them imo.

OR he was too dumb that a PC version exists, or PCs at all , thank god.

This affects a lot in sales?

The ocean shore doesn't have any console version of rage thankfully , but there is one item for PC that is 9.1 GB in size added 50 minutes ago - fortunately it's commented as fake. But it could be disk 1 that's why it cannot be installed ? more to come ?

I have already preordered the PC version 3 weeks ago.

Many guests are reading this topic - come on people register and show your self and wait for only 4 DAYS for this GOTY stuff - 4 or 7 DAYs is that a lot to ask

any got leaked vids?

I want to see some ps3 gameplay...

I looked on some of the common torrent sites (didn't download, don't wory, I'll stay faithful to my pre-order) and there indeed seem to be a few torrents for the game, though only the console versions.

But honestly, it happens to all games nowadays. Crysis 2, Bulletstorm, Killzone 3, Gears of War 3 ... almost as if someone intentionally staged it to generate buzz around the game

Still, seems very unfortunate for ID and Bethesda. Spending several years to make a game, to see other people downloading it without paying.


On a side note, I'm almost certain that Skyrim will be leaked aswell before the release.

Anyways, let's hope ID has a backup plan as this isn't the first time it has happened to games by ID software.

I have to admit I really really wish I could see how Rage runs on my PC before Monday night. I have my preorder down on the PS3 version currently but I'm considering changing it over to PC... still agonizing over the idea. Now I'm even pondering 360 as one option also.

I should probably just do the PC version.

I won't pirate it but damn it's tempting if the PC version is really out there, just to find out how it runs before I actually buy the real deal.

Oh and as a PC player who was up until recently living on the east coast, and had 2 games at least, (Dead Space 2 and Duke Nukem Forever) force me to wait 3 hours past the midnight release for the west coast (where I now live) to catch up, before I could start playing... well, the funny thing is that after decades of being a die hard NON-PIRATE who was aghast at the very idea of such things. Experiences like that, plus Morrowind's every 5 minute check to make sure my disc was in the drive, thus slowing down my gameplay... and me learning back then that pirates had eliminated that CD check so they were literally getting a better play experience than me, while not having paid...

all these sorts of things, and many many other factors, all tying in with misguided, doomed attempts to stop piracy which have never, and will never work, and ONLY serve to screw me and other legitimate, loyal customers over...

well it has started to make me at least consider using cracked copies of games, although of course still buying a hard copy so I'm in the right morally.

The leaked PS3 version is totally unplayable on the PS3 since 'Rage' requires FW 3.7 and just with a quick google.. the PS3 never got past CFW 3.55 - so, 'Rage' being leaked, while a damn shame is of no use to a PS3 owner who has 'jailbroken' PS3.

are u stupid? a leak is the same as pirated. PS3 can be hacked to play pirated/leaked games just like the 360. The game was "pirated" already. A game "leaks" from a company and then is "pirated" among the community. A leak just means the game was pirated before release.

No, it's like as Lord Ragnar wrote. Sony fixed their epic fail shortly after and therefore piracy is only limited possible.
There is only a custom firmware for an old version and no progress afterwards and only games that runs on that version a pirateable.
It's not possible to run Rage (or other new games) on a hacked PS3. So a leak doesn't necessarily means pirated ^^

Honestly, I just switched mine from PS3 to PC about 5 hours ago. Aside from graphics and tech talk, think about what you will do after you game ends. Either let it collect dust or start modding it!
